This is a very interesting video of the Dvorak Cello Concerto. It is one of the most important pieces of music to me, but for whatever reason there are very few good Youtube videos.

Here is a great piece of music played played by one of the greatest living pianists, Ivan Moravec.

This is an interesting interview that I saw the other day that I think might be interesting to Objectivists for various reasons.

In the United States we have this self-defeating immigration system. The greatest country in the world destroys itself at its roots because of destructive ideas.

I found a video on Youtube that is a great advertisement for the legendary book "Economics in One Lesson".

This is a good video with Leonard Bernstein of the best symphony that has even been written by a French composer.

This piece is from one of the best movie soundtracks. In many ways similar to the Liebestod from Wagner's Tristan and Isolde. Excellent performance and video from the LA Philharmonic.

Here is a good performance of a Rachmaninoff piano gem Lilacs played by the young Evgeny Kissin.

This is a the classic recording of a piece of music that for some reason isn't as popular on record as the composer's Cello Concerto or its peers like violin concertos by Tchaikovsky, Sibelius and Brahms but it is just as good. Nathan Milstein was one of the golden age greats of the violin. For some reason the EMI CD release of this recording is no longer available.

Here is a classic video of Leonard Bernstein conducting Schumann with the Vienna Philharmonic.

The Arizona Cardinals are right back in the mix with a historic 51-45 first round victory today over the Green Bay Packers in one of the greatest games in NFL history. Highlights posted below.

My favorite thing on SOLO at the moment is the KASS Gems series, and I thought it would be a good idea to close out the year with the contributions to the series that I thought were the best.

This is a well played version of the Finale of Dvorak's 9th Symphony "From the New World".

I'm sure that Thomas Sowell and the interviewer Mr. Williams have a lot more to say on this subject.

This is an amazing performance of the Brahms Second Symphony. Carlos Kleiber was one of the greatest interpreters of German music, and was the perfect interpreter of Brahms.

This is a magical, yet a lesser known movement among the Tchaikovsky Symphonies.

This is a classic video of Karajan and (I assume) the Berlin Philharmonic doing the Tristan (and Isolde) Leibestod with the great Jessye Norman.

This is one of the most devastating 10 minutes in music and will remain so for all time. It is also one of the most beautiful.

This is a gorgeous piece of music from Khachaturian's Spartacus. I believe this is a 1962 recording with the composer leading the Vienna Philharmonic.

This is desert island material for me, and I just learned about this recording a few weeks ago when Ross was commenting on the Sarasate Zigeunerweisen that was posted here.

This is a silly post for SOLO (No, this isn't something to post in blue). Especially considering the New Zealand contingent. But for fans of American football this is a good one.

Augmented for Full String Orchestra -- St. Martin in the Fields Orchestra/Marriner. This is a personal, early favorite of mine.

I am biased on this one -- not because of the violinist or the recording.

When you are the best in the world at what you do even secondary classics like this are impressive.

I like this video for various reasons The most important part is that this happens to be one of my favorite pieces of music. Like many of the youtube videos this deserves some extra volume.

Arturo Gatti was killed last weekend in Brazil. Apparently by his wife. I don't know what faults he had, but he made up for them in these 3 minutes.

This is one of the classic recordings of all time. And it is currently on YouTube, for free...

Here is one I want to bookmark and share. Hilary Hahn was a prodigy in this video who has since become one of the most formidable musicians on the planet.

Here is one of my shameless SOLO Youtube bookmarks. But some here might appreciate this -- Karajan and the VPO doing Bruckner's 8th Symphony.
